26/3/2004 17:55 | I sold out a week ago (options expiry) 19/3/04 traded price £4.7675. Where a stock rises into expiry, that is often its peak for a week or two and last Friday was the last expiry in this tax year (need to sort out my CGT). Obviously I had no knowledge of today's announcement re Autobar. I did consider buying back just after lunch today but decided to give it three days to settle and reconsider then. | zulu001 | |
26/3/2004 17:19 | If volume is any guide, today's fall will continue until, I think, 300p. zulu001, are you long or short? | josephrobert | |
19/3/2004 10:01 | Nice rise to 477p at present. | zulu001 | |
29/2/2004 10:10 | Bunzl PLC year to Dec 31 2003 Pretax profit before goodwill, exceptionals - 212.3 mln stg vs 207.3 mln Pretax profit - 194.6 mln stg vs 195.3 mln Turnover - 2.73 bln stg vs 2.84 bln EPS - 27.4 pence vs 27.1pence Final dividend - 8.25 pence vs 7.55 pence Total dividend - 12.1 pence vs 11.2 pence Bunzl PLC, the UK distribution and outsourcing group, lifted its full year pretax profit by 8 pct at constant exchange rates, a performance it said reflected a strong operating performance "against a backdrop of mixed economic conditions". Pretax profit before goodwill and exceptionals rose to 212.3 mln stg from 207.3 mln stg the previous year. Reported pretax profit was 194.6 mln stg, against 195.3 mln stg the previous year. The movement in the dollar was unfavourable and, although the euro strengthened, overall currency movements reduced the company's reported growth rate of sales by about 4 pct and that of profits and earnings by 5-6 pct. Price deflation also had a negative impact on the growth of sales and profits. Sales of continuing operations were 2.73 bln stg, up 6 pct at constant exchange rates. The group is paying a final dividend of 8.25 pence, up from 7.55 pence, making a total dividend of 12.1 pence, up 8 pct. "Volume growthin our major markets, our strong positions in those markets and our opportunities to make acquisitions give us confidence that the underlying prospects of the group are good," said chairman Anthony Habgood. The group expects volume growth to continue in the current year. The dilutionary effect of the sale of Paper Distribution will no longer be present in 2004 and year-on-year price deflation, which moderated through 2003, should fall further if the current announced price increases in plastic products in the US are fully implemented. The share buyback initiated in February, the results, the increased dividend and a positive outlook are taking this higher. What happens to the US dollar will also be critical. | zulu001 | |

12/9/2003 08:09 | LONDON (AFX) - Bunzl PLC said it has agree to purchase the business of Baumgartner Fibertec for an undisclosed sum.

21/8/2003 09:45 | come on bunzl people where are you? things are looking good so far and we have an upgrade to buy. i am long on this looking to get to 4.75 before getting out. any comments? | eddie4 | |
14/2/2003 09:25 | andy, long time no hear.....are you still about and trading. cheers yas | yas0 | |
31/1/2003 00:55 | Hi Yas, Well I hate blowing my own trumpet, but I guess I called this one right. I'm much much happier now, as I decided to take the profits on the banking stocks and cut and run. They may go higher (and I hope they do) but in these markets a profit is a profit and a 4 - 5% gain cannot be sniffed at, so I'm going to watch and hope to call it right again, when I see another shift in sentiment. Hope you are making money. Andy | ajbche | |
29/1/2003 17:18 | Hi Yas, Sorry I've been quiet, I've been keeping my head low and my money firmly in cash, just watching and waiting. Trying to predict the markets over the last week or so has been somewhat of a rollercoaster. Everytime I thought I had gauged their movements they snapped back one way or other. The little money i did commit i lost so I decided to keep out, until today, for today I saw what may be a base at around the 3400 mark and a short term buy. I may be wrong but the market sent out the right signals at around the 3400 and rallied strongly this afternoon. If I'm correct I think the oversold signs in a number of stocks my be snapped up, especially in the banking sector. I'm not foolish enough to think that this is the start of the 'Great Bull Run', but I do see a short sharp snapback occurring, and we may have witnessed the start today. I have therefore taken out pretty big long positions in BARC ANL LLOYDS and BRADFORD & BINGLEY. Of course i'll be using strict tight stop losses, but if my intuition is correct, there is a big short term profit to be made here. Time will tell.....we have been here before.....but some of these stocks are ridiculously oversold (BB is at it's float price !!) and it can't be long before buyers move in (albeit short term) to snap some of these up at these valuations. I like to think of myself as neither a BULL or BEAR, but right now I feel bullish, for the short term. No doubt in a couple of days time when the index is sitting at 3200 I'll be crying into my soup with my tail between my legs, but today for a long time, the european markets showed a lot of resistance, at the current levels, and that has filled me with short term optimism. Oh well here goes.....tomorrow is going to be a big day as if I'm right it should be the first good positive day for the FTSE. Good luck if your shorting Yas....let me know how you get on. Andy | ajbche | |
28/1/2003 15:55 | andy, i see all these com[panies which i sold short a couple of weeks ago are all below my sell price now....i should have held on, but just when i got out the market has tanked... i am waiting for a rally of sorts and will short into any half decent rally. have not heard from you for a while....hope its all going ok for you. i should have stuck with these bnzl's. in fact if this perks up to about 370 or so i will short again, i feel it will head down to 280p. we'll see. cheers and good luck yas | yas0 | |
25/1/2003 00:27 | well i see boc is tanking further...........i thought support might hold but it hasnt. this market is really really tough. it is heading down but not everyone is taking advantage cos they are all expecting a bounce sooner or later. and it will happen when everyone thinks it wont happen now. im neutral at the moment. just cannot read short term movements at the moment cheers yas | yas0 | |
25/1/2003 00:10 | Doctor, You were smack on with the BOC short. I have been considering MTN short for the last couple of days, but again wary of the bounce, and sure enough it is now on its way down. Maybe i should pay less attention to what might happen and just go with the charts? Regards | the vampire | |
24/1/2003 21:53 | TV, So many times I look at a perfectly obvious chart breakout but just cannot bring myself to believe the extent of the projected rise or fall. Perhaps BNZL will prove to be another good example. The chart has confirmed a long term head & shoulders which has made a small pullback and now looks set to go down. I try to ignore fundamentals but today D Kleinwort have upgraded from hold to buy, say that BNZL is oversold and have set a target of 440. A buy back of 10% of the shares is proposed which will lift EPS by more than 5%. This sort of thing is a nuisance at a time like this. | doctorbird | |
24/1/2003 02:45 | Yes TV I agree. Can hardly wait to try shorting BNZL but will not risk it yet. In any case there are others more immediately tempting, WOS, SVT, and even perhaps AAL. Shall continue MKS short for the moment. | doctorbird | |
24/1/2003 00:39 | Good afternoon Doctorbird / Yaz, Well what an interesting day it's been up to now. We are about level for the day with the Dow futures showing a fairly positive open....but for how long ?? Looking at the earnings figures coming out of the US and over here I believe we are in the middle of a long bear phase similar to that that has gripped the Japanese economy for some time. A lot will depend on the war of course which is being dismissed (if it happens) as being a short war, although personally I don't see it being that easy. On the stocks front, I've had to reassess my stocks strategy. I am pretty much neutral until I can get a grip on the new trading ranges for some of the stocks I track. In fact having been burnt a few times over the last few days, I'm not even sure trading ranges are applicable anymore as new lows seem to be daily events. I'd be interested in your views, especially on BOC, BUNZL (which has remained incredibly resilient) and the banking sector. Good luck and have fun. Andy P.S.....Was very tempted to short MKS, but the retail sector seems to be pretty resilient at the moment | ajbche | |
23/1/2003 13:25 | Hello Guys, We are in a funny period at the moment. While the charts indicate screaming shorts and BNZL is one of them, we are all anticipating some kind of bounce. I opened a sure fire BSY short at the beginning of the week but i closed it this morning. Wait and see period | the vampire | |
23/1/2003 13:14 | andy, boc has good support 810-820 and this has held yesterday but we will see. I would not short it right now myself. bnzl will head down if it breaks support at 375 , and this should ultimatelly lead to 280p. I went short but timing i feel was wrong and closed my position,. but for now it is holding above the levels which should trigger falls. but it is interesting that it has not breached 400p despite many attempts since last month. Barring A TWO DAY CLOSE ABOVE 410 I THINK DOWNSIDE IS FAVOURED. | yas0 | |
22/1/2003 13:01 | Andy, the ftse at some stage will certainly test 3600 according to charts, it has broken sept uptrend so unless it gets back above 3800 sharpish it is negative the other way to look at it is by loooking at the charts of its constitiuents.oils (bp , shell ) i need not tell you since you trade them yourself, financials also look dire. so what will propel ftse upward if charts of its components are looking to head dowqn. but my biggest problem is i have missed the shorts recently.i got hurt a few weeks ago on a number of shorts and it dented my confidence. I need a better run again. cheers yas | yas0 | |
22/1/2003 11:50 | Hello, FTSE has broken down through a symmetrical triangle as have numerous shares which it comprises. Its a long time since I saw so many broken triangles, Bearish Engulfing candles and congested Bollinger bands. The potential fall based on triangles would be in the region of 3200. Tom Hougaard was on Bloomberg this morning making the point that with FTSE having so much Banking content the banking index will have to perk up before anything much can improve. He also said that the US banks have not moved down as ours have and that the Dow is likely to go up in the shorter term, prior to a big fall in March. I think he saw the FTSE down to around 2700. His good news was that later on the Dow could rapidly come back by at least 50%. This is all so much speculation, at the moment I can't work out where we are lilely to be in a couple of days. Grabbed some points on RIO today and am short MKS. Have closed BOC. I notice SHEL on your list. It too has recently broken through a triangle baseline and the price now hugging the Bollinger band. | doctorbird | |
22/1/2003 08:55 | Good Morning Doctorbird / Yaz, This is the 3rd straight morning the FTSE has attempted a rally only to be sold off. With the institutions saying that the UK market is looking cheap but that they have noe money, I'm not sure where any upside impetus is going to come from. The only ones having a field day are the hedge funds, and spreadbetters who guess the market right. Where do you guys see the bottom in the FTSE. I see us going to around 3550 - 3600 before things start bottoming out. what are your views ? Andy | ajbche |
